We've made these forums available as a read-only reference and knowledge-base for people using or developing editors based on htmlArea 2 or 3.

Anyone who is interested in taking over version 2 or 3 is free to do so. All we ask is that you choose a new name that doesn't have "htmlarea" in it to avoid confusion with this site. We'll even give you a link in the directory to make it easier for people to find you. If you are developing or hosting an htmlArea based-editor under a new name, please submit it to our directory.

I am using HTML Area in one of the ASP form . The text (comments) which we entered in HTMLArea need to save in database with some max length validation like the comments can be of maximum 1000 characters long. I code it like

if len(document.frmcomment.txaASCom.value) > 1000 then msgbox "Entered comments length is more than 1000 characters" exit sub end if

but document.frmcomment.txaASCom.value takes the HTML tags also like Bold etc at the time of saving .

Please suggest me the method which will tell me the length of the Text only which user entered (without formatting HTML tags ).
